'What a wonderfully versatile and chic look for the Princess', a fan of Kate's hairstyle wrote on the social media platform X. Another cooed that Kate's braid was 'amazing', while one observer said the royal's low-key look suited her, writing: 'She looked stunning!' It's not the first time the Princess of Wales has showcased her deft hair skills mid-engagement. The genius hair styling hack saw the princess gather her hair into a ponytail and then twist the end of it once around itself. To ease her nerves, the future princess also made a deliberate 'point of placing her hands on her lap so that she didn't fidget with her glamorous hair', royal author Katie Nicholl said at the time.
